My first car was a '96 Saturn SL, manual. If this had been my first car, I'd have no complaints at all. Unfortunately, it pales in comparison to the '96 SL. Sure, it's more comfortable, and looks more upscale, but -- and this is a big but -- it gets about 10mpg less than the SL, and isn't quite as fun to drive. The OnStar was either a big help or a terrible tragedy in the making, since it told me to change my oil once around 5000 miles and then not again until 13000 miles. I decided to let my subscription expire, but wow! Talk about saving me a bundle on maintenance.
Best you can get

I have had a VW Jetta, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla and now the Saturn ION. Help my mother-in-law buy two cars. And speaking from service at the dealership, it has been the easiest car I have ever bought. Saturn dealership does not try to sell you something you do not want, nor did I have to hassle over the price. Car saleperson works on a salary, not volume or commission. Only took an hour and I was out the door - great service. And the car, it is a gem. The car has OnStar, drives well - completely quit. And the power is more than my Nissan Sentra SE-R. I am thinking of trading my wifes car in for another Saturn Ion. She cannot wait.

Over 6 months and 8700 miles have passed since I bought my car. You actually get the MPG on the sticker Its get more fun with every mile driven. If you don't test drive one you will be sorry. I've owned 5 hondas over the last 20 years. I believe the Ion is one of the best cars I've owned period. I bought it because of onstar being standard. Having a disabilty that requires the use of a wheelchair cane or ECV its gives me the extra level of security that's priceless. All of those items fix easly in its over sized trunk. Overall I am more then pleased. a 9.5 on a scale of 10.
Good Value

We purchased our ION 3 seven months ago. With the leather & top tier features we still paid less than $18k. My husband uses it for work, putting more than 100 mi/day on it, and it has yet to give us any problems. In my husband's line of work, he's been in 2 accidents not his fault already being on the road so much. One was a side- swipe that didn't damage anything, another was a rear-ending that was inexpensive to fix the back bumper. We've also taken it on several trips from San Antonio to El Paso (550 miles) and it does fantastic. The gas mileage is great. With the old trade-in and down payment, we're paying less than $300 a month. The car is stylish, drives like a 6 cylinder,
I love this my Saturn!!!!

I highly recommend this vehicle. The price is right, it is cheap on gas, fun to drive, the interior is nice, reliable, handles well, the battery is in the trunk, it is a great car all around. I would not change a thing. I recommend this car to anyone who considers themselves a true North American. The car was built in Canada, the transmission was built in the city I live in. I like knowing that my car was built in Canada. I absolutely love this car! I only drive North American made vehicles and this is my favourite one so far!
